Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Monk — a Heart Ready to Heal
Monk is a two-year-old pit bull/boxer mix whose story will break your heart and then immediately fill it back up again. When he arrived, he was severely emaciated and covered in old scars — clear signs that life has not been kind to him. And yet, despite everything, Monk greets the world with a softness and sweetness that feels almost magical. Monk is gentle to his core. He leans in quietly for affection, takes treats with the utmost care, and looks at you with warm, grateful eyes that seem to ask, “Are you my person?” This boy isn’t demanding; he simply wants kindness, safety, and someone who will help him continue to heal both physically and emotionally.
Once he feels secure, Monk`s loving nature shines so brightly. He walks nicely on leash, enjoys calm companionship, and is the kind of dog who will thrive in a peaceful, patient home where he can finally exhale. If you’re looking for a loyal companion to nurture, cherish, and help grow into the happy, healthy dog he deserves to be, Monk is waiting—with an open heart and boundless hope—for the person who will give him the life he’s never had. Give Monk the chance he’s been longing for. He’s ready to blossom with you.
